Helian Nie could easily see through the little dumpling's little thoughts, but he didn't intend to expose them. He carried Helian Si in one arm and strode into the hall.
Upon entering the hall, Helian Nie sat down directly on the pear wood chair at the head of the table, and glanced around at the furnishings.
His strikingly handsome face showed a barely perceptible furrow of his long, narrow eyebrows. Rumors circulated that he didn't care much about his offspring, but that wasn't true.
Conversely, he roughly knew what kind of lives his sons were living. Except for his eldest and third sons, who were doing relatively well due to the support of their maternal grandparents,
All that's left are the little dumpling in her arms and her second son, and they're not living a very good life, especially the second son.
Unfortunately, Helian Nie believed in the law of the jungle, and he couldn't even survive in the struggles of the harem, let alone in the struggle for the throne, the court, or even outside of Northern Yin.
As for his current feelings towards the little bundle in his arms, it's probably because of the little bundle's unusual audacity, or perhaps because the little bundle will be a bargaining chip to restrain Nan Rong Jinghua in the future.
Based on this alone, he had no reason to continue allowing that woman, Wen Changle, to suppress Xiao Tuanzi at will.
Helian Si was held in Helian Nie's arms, for fear that his unpredictable little darling might suddenly throw him down.
Helian Si's little arms clung tightly to Helian Nie's neck, as if afraid that his little one might get upset and cause his bottom to bruise.
Seeing his little one scan his palace, followed by the look of disgust on his face, Helian Si suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Thinking of her own child's magnificent and extravagant palace, and then looking at her own rather desolate and miserable palace...
Sighing, life is tough. She was so poor, but knowing her son's personality, she thought it was better to just dream about getting even a tiny bit of gold from him.
"Changying, give the order: anyone who dares to embezzle funds from Yongqing Palace in the future will be beaten to death and thrown into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave."
Changying was taken aback, but immediately bowed respectfully and replied, "Your subordinate obeys."
It's no wonder he was surprised; in the past ten years or so, he had never seen the Emperor interfere in the lives of any prince or princess.
Every time he heard the reports from the surveillance guards, he felt a pang of pity for the princes and princesses, but the emperor never even frowned.
He couldn't and dared not say anything. As the saying goes, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs; the Emperor must have had his own reasons for doing so.
However, ever since the little princess fell into the pond and was rescued by him, she has become increasingly strange, especially today.
It's one thing for him to personally visit the little princess at Yongqing Palace, but now he's even ordering people to take care of her food, clothing, and daily necessities. This is really too abnormal.
Not only was Changying surprised, but Yue'er, who was just about to bring in tea, was also stunned and stood frozen in place.
"His Majesty... His Majesty is concerned about the little princess!" Yue'er's eyes suddenly reddened. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, did you see that?"
The Emperor cares about the little princess. From now on, the little princess will never be bullied by the other concubines again!
Helian Si blinked his eyes, then blinked again, and raised his little hand to touch Helian Nie's forehead repeatedly.
Half-breath's rosy face furrowed its brows as it muttered to itself in surprise, "Strange, it's not hot."
